Best Answer

The first formal schools in the American colonies appeared by 1630 and in 1635 the Boston Latin School was established. The schools taught mainly reading and writing and were to advance literacy so all citizens could "possess knowledge of the scriptures". It was important to teach republican virtues and this became the general goal of education in the newly form United States in the 1780's.
